Somewhere, James was just as trapped as I was. I thought of the morning when we lay with each other, curled against one another, never beginning and never ending. How we’d stayed like that till the sun began to rise. James had reached down and pulled me off the ground. He wore a satisfied grin on his face. “Someone is mighty proud of himself,” I teased. He laughed. It bounced through the forest, calling it awake. Readying it for the day. “I’m just insanely happy.” I stood on the tips of my toes and kissed him gently on his scar. “I’m insanely happy too,” I whispered. James looked down at me, and I was lost all over again. I would never tire of looking into those mismatched eyes. They didn’t make him different. They made him him. He chuckled as he reached over and pulled a leaf from my tangled hair. “They’ll know just by looking at you that we’ve been up to no good.” “No good?” I purred. “I thought it was very, very good.” James growled and lifted me into the air. I wrapped my legs around his waist as he pressed his lips hungrily against mine. I moved my hands to his hair, curling my fingers into it, attaching myself to him. I never wanted to let go. Every part of me ached to be touched by him, and every part of me ached to touch him right back. “Do you know how much I love you?” he breathed into the base of my neck. His lips fluttered against my skin. I nodded, kissing the top of his head. “As much as I love you.” James slowly put my feet back on the ground. He cradled my face in his hands. “That will never change. No matter what.” I looked deep into his eyes. “I know.” Because I did. It was one of life’s few assurances. I would always love James. I pressed my lips once again to his scar. “I adore this scar,” I whispered, unable to hide the smile that seemed etched on my face all morning. “You’re enough to drive a man crazy,” he said The tremble of his voice caused my toes to curl. I wanted him again. And again. And again. My fingers traced the waist of his pants. “Tonight?” I said, knowing full well it was a promise that I probably wouldn’t be able to keep. James grabbed my hand and brought it to his lips. “Tonight,” he echoed. As the sun climb higher into the sky, I knew our moment was coming to an end. James reached down and placed his hand over my heart. “Thank you,” he said. “For what?” I asked, my voice choked with emotion. “For everything.” As the memory slipped away, I looked back up at the night sky. Praying and hoping that James knew how much I wanted to thank him too. For everything.Enjoy!
